Owen vs Georgetown vs Fisher vs Cox [#permalink] New post   01 Jan 2014, 10:47
Hello

I am in a little bit of bind trying to decide amongst the four admits in hand right now. While Owen, Georgetown and Fisher have offered the same amount of scholarship, the scholarship offer from Cox is slightly better. I am wondering if I should go with the higher ranked schools(Owen/Georgetown) or the one with the location advantage(Cox). My goal is strategy consulting and I have an IT background. Any insights or inputs will be highly appreciated.

I would assume you want to stay in Texas if you say Cox has the location advantage?

Otherwise, looking at this list, I'd pick G'Town - better rep, and I love DC.

Thanks for your reply CobraKai. I would not mind staying in Texas but then Cox is not as well ranked as the other ones in the list. GTown is definitely enjoys better reputation but have heard DC is extremely expensive and that is something that makes me a little jittery about GTown.

That's a valid concern, but if you're interested in strategy consulting, reputation is very important. GTown seems to have a decent relationship with Deloitte/Accenture tier firms.
